Effect

In Battle

An attack move that varies in power and type depending on the weather. When no weather condition is in effect, Weather Ball is a normal type move. During any weather condition, Weather Ball's type changes and its base power doubles to 100. It will be:

Fire-type if it is sunny.
Water-type if it is raining.
Ice-type if it is hailing.
Rock-type if there is a sandstorm.
Normal-type if it is foggy, there are strong winds, or there is no weather condition in effect.
???-type if Shadow Sky is under effect. (Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness only)

Type power-ups from the weather will be put into effect, as well as STAB caused by Castform's type changing from its ability, Forecast.

Contests

A highly appealing move.

Super Contests

Earn +2 if the Judge's Voltage goes up.
